Changing/filling transmission fluid is difficult

Recommended Posts

  Man, the fluid just keeps burping. What i did finally was to get out a new one gallon jug of 10W30 and punch a little hole in the tin seal. I then leaked it down the side of a tiny funnel in a on eighth inch stream using a handy dandy hose like attachment on the oil container. Of course the jug quit flowing after a time, so I took a drywall screw and "drilled a tiny air hole into the jug for make up air. i takes about an hour and about a half gallon to fill the transmission. Maybe more once I run it and use the hydraulic lift.

  I also thought about placing a tiny vinyl tube down the fill hole into the transmission to let the air out.

  What do you guys do?

I have removed a bolt from the seat support as a vent with good results.

I leave the filter loose and can get about 3.5 qts into my Eaton 1100 before it starts leaking out.  At that point I tighten the filter and put the last quart in slowly.  It doesn't take all 5.5 qts for a refill.
